He put Louisville basketball on the map and won two national championships. A job well done.

“Legendary Louisville basketball coach Denny Crum”
And yet, I’ve never heard of him.
How old are you?
Well you are not a sports dude.
Over 50.
As my screen name attests, I was born in Louavul. And Denny Crum was a class act.
Probably seeing how Louisville did this year finished him off.
I’m 46 and remember Denny Crum since I was 10 years old. Actually the first finals I ever watched was 1986 Louisville-Duke.
College Basketball once was great, Denny, Dean Smith, Al McGuire, Coach Knight.
Now it’s a joke. The three-point shot killed basketball.
UCLA did everything to get him back to Westwood but could never match or exceed what he had at Louisville.
Almost 80. Crum was a legend. He was a player and assistant coach under John Wooden at UCLA. Crum as a coach at UCLA was part of 3 national championships and then as head coach at Louisville won two more. Six Final Fours. National coach of the year 3 times. Inducted into both the Basketball Hall of Fame and the College Basketball Hall of Fame.

The NCAA killed College sports.

Let’s just say I don’t follow college sports so much, unless they’re local.
